Here’s the moment Nick Young referenced Rashad McCants being Underdog’s mascot.
a week before the show was canceled. Rashad was wearing full Underdog merch, and Nick Young called him a glazer.
You can see Rashad’s reaction, he looked like he was almost ready to start moving furniture

Nick Young went on Instagram and said Gil's Arena podcast is officially canceled and everybody got fired: "Ay Gilbert, you hiring ??" "Rashad McCants got fired wearing a whole Underdog outfit on, I was like damn they're firing mascots"

LeBron isn’t bigger than the Lakers. Never will be and never has been. Why do people act like the Lakers weren’t one of the WORLDS most popular teams before James signed!?! Lakers will be fine
NBA Courtside@NBA__Courtside
Draymond Green says people don’t understand the weight that LeBron James carries, and the Lakers are going to feel that next season: “I still think people don’t understand the force, the weight that this guy carry, you know, from a overall standpoint, you know, the economics that he bring to a team, the economic impact that he may have on the city. And then also the basketball like anytime LeBron James is on the floor, A, your team have a chance to win, but B, you have to account for him in a major way. And I think personally the Lakers are going to feel that next year.” (Via @DraymondShow)

He wanted AD, he got AD. He wanted Westbrook, he got Westbrook. He wanted his kid drafted, they drafted his kid.
At some point his Branch Davidian fanbase is gonna have to come up with new material.
Lakers All Day Everyday@LADEig
LeBron chose to leave the Lakers in part because of a disconnect between himself and the organization that started after the failed Westbrook experiment. The relationship was never fully repaired, per ESPN.

Good luck to whoever has to deal with this going forward.
Heat Central@TheHeatCentral
Rich Paul on LeBron James to the Knicks 😳 “If the Knicks hadn’t won, there would be no board. He’d be going to the Knicks…. Jalen Brunson would literally have to pick up the phone and say ‘hey man, there’s no issue with me.’ They (Knicks) have checked in.” (Via Game Over)

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it.... The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement. Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place. This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight. The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside. Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue. The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us. This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.
